When I had my Shih Tzu, it was a pain to cut her nails. It was awful and always a struggle.
Over time, I learned that the best time to cut her nails was when it thundered outside. That would immediately make her vulnerable and she allowed me to do anything I wanted.
So when winter came around and it stopped thundering, I would put on the sounds of thunder on my laptop and she permitted me to cut her nails.
I wish I started when she was a pup because my fiancee's cats do not struggle a bit due to them starting when they were kittens.
